ABOUT

dvd::rip is a full featured DVD copy program written in Perl. It provides
an easy to use but feature-rich Gtk+ GUI to control
almost all aspects of the ripping and transcoding process. It uses the widely known video
processing swissknife
transcode
and many other Open Source tools. dvd::rip itself is licensed under
GPL / Perl Artistic License.

"And note: it's spelt dvd::rip,
and nothing else."

NEWS

Marc Ole Bulling created a live CD image with dvd::rip and the transcode
stuff to easyly set up a cluster node. If you are interessted, check out
his project homepage.
If you have any suggestions, comments or whatever leave a comment in the
guestbook.

This version drops the warning about experimental transcode 1.1.x support,
since dvd::rip can be considered to work with all current transcode
releases at the same level of functionality. There may be still issues
with transcode 1.1.x under special circumstances, since the transcode
team improved and changed a lot under the hood. So don't hesitate to post
bug reports to the list if you hit any bugs.

Hey, the project is still alive ;) Today we have a feature / bugfix
release on the stable branch:
dvd::rip 0.98.9 [stable].
Refer to the
change log for details
of this release.

This version has a new translation to Danish, thanks to Ysangkok
for his work. As well it fixes a cluster avimerge problem with recent
transcode versions and adds full support for anamporh transcoding
without any scaling applied.

Obviously many people use dvd::rip on smaller screens (widescreen
notebooks and stuff ;) but the rich GUI doesn't fit very well on them.
This release adds a "small screen size" option, which puts the notebook
tabs to the left and adds scrollbars, so every bit of the dvd::rip GUI
is reachable even on the smallest screen now ;)

Today we have a new release on the stable branch, fixing
some smaller bugs:
dvd::rip 0.98.7 [stable],
updates some translations and adds a Catalan translation.
Refer to the
change log for details.

Here we have a quick bugfix of the Friday 13th release... ;)
dvd::rip crashed on initial startup when no configuration
was found.
dvd::rip 0.98.6 [stable]
fixes that.
As well the Swedish and Serbian translations got some updates.
Refer to the
change log for details.

It's the first release with support for transcode's
1.1.x branch (CVS HEAD), which will become stable in
foreseeable time. Support is experimental, but basic
operation seems to work quite well. Please report bugs
if you find them.

Today was bug squashing day, so I'm pleased to announce this new release:

Besides a bunch of smaller bug fixes it's the first with
a Swedish user interface, thanks to Daniel Nylander.
Refer to the
change log for all
the gory details.

Here we have a new release:
dvd::rip 0.98.2 [stable].
It mainly updates the Serbian translation, which is now
available in a latin variant as well. Thanks to Filip Miletic
for this work. Refer to the
change log for details.

From time to time people ask me how they could support the dvd::rip
project, e.g. by donating some money to the author. I just created a PayPal
account for that purpose, so if you like to support me this way,
you're welcome ;)

2006/08/25

Today we have a maintenance release on the stable branch:
dvd::rip 0.98.1 [stable].

It took more than a year of hard work, but finally
we have a new dvd::rip stable release again:

Thanks to all the people who helped with this release by testing,
sending bug reports, making suggestions or translations of the user
interface.
